KANSAI YAMAMOTO AVIATOR SKIRT

"Gaudy by
desire, larger-than-life by theater's intensity, and virtually to
Japanese culture what Pop style was to Anglo-American culture, Yamamoto
has consistently cultivated a fashion of fantastic images, extravagant
imagination, and sensuous approach to both tradition and a view of the
future."

-Leonard Koren, New Fashion Japan (1984)

This skirt is one of the best Kansai Yamamoto piecces I own. is a
visionary Japanese designer sometimes best known for outfitting David
Bowie circa Ziggy Stardust. Check out some info I compiled at my friend's blog La Maladie Tropicale a few months back.
